Compute Cluster

Accessing the Discovery Compute Cluster

1. ssh to a submit machine. The machine name will vary depending on your group:
   • WID: wid-submit.discovery.wisc.edu
   • Optimization: opt-submit.discovery.wisc.edu
   • Roy Group: roy-submit.discovery.wisc.edu
   • Medical Devices: md-submit.discovery.wisc.edu
2. Decide if you need a batch or interactive job.
   • If you are starting a batch job, add

     +group = "WID"

     or

     +group = "MIR"

     to your submit file.
   • If you are starting an interactive job for a command prompt and shell access, run:

     condor_submit -i
